https://us8.campaign-archive.com/?u=3a9c62bd376dc702d76860aff&id=8e0ffe9b52Islam In Hong KongHow could a food demand from a Muslim leader help spark the growth of Islam in this highly developed Chinese territory?

So read the headline from the South Chine Morning Post in Sept. 2013. The demand was an attempt to get Hong Kong's restaurants to begin catering to Muslim residents who only eat halal (permissible food by Islamic standards).

This brash demand ultimately sparked tremendous growth of Halal restaurants - from a few to 72 by April 2019. (Hong Kong Free Press). More Muslims began coming to Hong Kong!

A top 5 ranking in theGlobal Muslim Travel Index of "Most Friendly Destinations"

Government's promotion of Islamic investment

Desire for Diversity - catering to people from different religious backgrounds

Introducing Hong Kong To IslamJust like the mosques in Dallas-Fort Worth, Muslims in Hong Kong invite people to their mosques. From a Jan. 2020 report from the Muslim Council of Hong Kong:

In the last 4-5 years, hundreds and sometimes thousands of people have visited the Kowloon Mosque to support the Muslim community and get introduced to the basics of Islamic beliefs and practices.

Fast Facts On Islam In Hong Kong

300,000+ Muslims or 4.1% of Hong Kong's population

150,000 are Indonesian expatriate workers of which 120,000 are women in domestic jobs

Hong Kong's Muslim population - 150,000 from Indonesia, 50,000 are Chinese, 30,000 are Pakistani and the rest from around the world

6 mosques and more on the way

Hong Kong Prayer Needs

Hong Kong means "fragrant harbor." Pray for more laborers of the harvest to be sent and spread the fragrance of Christ, as they work among Hong Kong's Muslim community (II Corinthians 2:114-15). They must be creative, intentional and strategic in outreach

Pray for Indonesian Muslims' salvation - particularly the women. The women are vastly overworked, underpaid and often abused. These people will return to Islam's largest Muslim population in the world.

Pray for the 30,000 Hui Chinese Muslims - there are 0.00% followers of Jesus

Pray for the salvation of Pakistani workers, as they work and return to Islam's 2nd largest population

With tourism slowly resuming after the coronavirus, pray for Muslim tourists in Hong Kong to have divine encounters with followers of Jesus

10/10 Prayer InitiativePlease continue to pray that a minimum of 10% of the Muslim population of the world will come to Christ by Jan. 1, 2028.

https://mailchi.mp/a70c449c0c41/el-turcos-of-latin-america"El Turcos" Of Latin AmericaToday we look at Islam in a nation in Latin America. How did Muslims get there? Is this nation and one of its cities becoming a focal point?

"El Turcos"-The Muslims Of Argentina

Hump Day - Day Of Prayer For The Muslim World Vol. 140

"From one man, He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us."
Acts 17:26-27

In a country noted for its gauchos, soccer, and being the birthplace of the revolutionary Che Guevara, Argentina also has an Islamic community. Surprised? What can we learn about them?

How Did Muslims Come To Argentina?Starting in the 1860s and due to the oppressive regime of the Ottoman Empire, millions of people fled from the Levant and migrated to Argentina over the next 100 years. Most were from an orthodox background, but many were Muslim.

Most Muslim immigrants are Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese Arabs with a smaller number coming from Turkey.

Muslim Demographics In Argentina

An estimated 1.1 million Muslims or 2.5% of Argentina's population (Pew Research)

Argentina has the largest Muslim minority of any nation in Latin America

What Has Been The Experience Of Muslims In Argentina?

They were nicknamed "El Turcos" (Spanish for "The Turks") by the Argentines. This was due to Turkey having been the head of the Ottoman Empire from which they fled.

Some Muslim immigrants experienced pressure to assimilate into Argentina's society, and some others were forced into conversion by the Catholic Church

Muslims Practicing Their Religion In Argentina

With the adoption of Spanish as their primary language over Arabic, many Argentine Muslims have diminished in knowledge of their religion and virtually lost their Islamic identity.

As a result, there has been a concerted effort to translate Islamic teachings into the Spanish language to strengthen the faith of Argentine Muslims and reach the greater Hispanic community

The King Fahd Islamic Cultural Center, funded by Saudi Arabia and opened in 2000, has become a tourist attraction and focal point for Muslims in Argentina, as they seek to raise their profile in Latin America

Prayer Needs

Pray for the Muslims of Argentina - especially those in Buenos Aires. This city has become Latin America's hub for Islam. Not only does it have the largest mosque in South America, it is also home to the Islamic Organization of Latin America - the leading propagator and unifier of Islam in all of Latin America.

With Muslims in Argentina less sure of their faith in Islam, pray for true and effective followers of Jesus to be sent to them to present the glorious gospel of grace in a wise and loving manner.

10/10 Prayer InitiativeContinue praying for a minimum of 10% of the Muslim world to come to Christ by Jan. 1, 2028 That's approximately 180 million people.
